"The central reason for acquiring a passport is this: it is a tool for the imagination. It has become what the driver’s license once was: permission to explore our most relevant surroundings. A student who has a chance to experience the world first hand, to navigate in unknown territory, will grow as a person, gain confidence, and learn skills that will last a lifetime. To step outside the familiar is to enliven creativity that nourishes innovation and the intellectual life."- Gordon Gee, President, Ohio State University
